Paul,
DFSORT does indeed support "^" and "&" for the begin and end.
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.4.0?topic=statement-regular-expressions
If scroll down a bit in the above link, we do the examples.
^ibm
Matches records beginning with "ibm"
ibm$
Matches records ending with "ibm"
>> The ON value could be "LEGACY", "KDFAES", "PASSWORD" or "NOPHRASE".
Lionel,
How do you determine which header value need to be used? I am guessing that it
is going to depend on a value in the file. If So we can dynamically change it.
Thanks,

>> What I would like to do is change LEGACY/KDFAES to PASSPHRASE if possible.
Lionel,
You just want to change the ON value and not the header. Assuming you have a
COPY/SORT step to filter the data, you can change the values there. I am
showing for position 21, but you can change to that 616
Phil,
You can use the command TSO EXEC 'SYS1.SBPXEXEC(BPXMTEXT)' 'your 8 digit hex
code' or $ bpxmtext hexcode from shell to get the description of the errnox .
TSO EXEC 'SYS1.SBPXEXEC(BPXMTEXT)' '0594003D' results in
